In 1958, filmmaker Raffaele Marani documented a family picnic near Bologna. The colour film shows his wife and son picking spring onions in a meadow. Afterwards, the family prepares for the picnic: the children arrive on a Vespa and park next to the tablecloth lying on the lawn. Sitting on the blanket, they eat spring onions seasoned with oil, accompanied by wine. The cameraman positions the camera on a tripod to document the moment and joins the family, also appearing in front of the camera.
